It’s that time of year again!

The Essex County OPP will be packing groceries for their annual Essex County Cop Camp fundraiser.

This is the biggest fundraiser for Cop Camp, an annual event where approximately 80 grade 6 aged children attend Gesstwood Camp in Essex for a week of leadership and fun with the police.

The camp costs nothing for the campers who are selected to attend, and all monies collected during the Grocery Packing fundraiser go directly towards the cost of running the camp.

This year officers will be packing groceries on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at Kingsville Zehrs, Tecumseh Zehrs and Leamington Real Canadian Superstore from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. 

If you attend any of the locations, you can fill out a ballot for a chance to win a gift basket.

All donations are greatly appreciated by the Essex County OPP and the Essex County cOPPs for Charity committee.
